The Grafana 11.2 release brings a range of significant updates that enhance the platform’s capabilities in data visualization, transformations, and more. Some of the key improvements include:
- New Data Sources: Grafana 11.2 introduces several new data sources, including those for Zendesk, Catchpoint, and Yugabyte, allowing users to visualize data from a broader array of platforms.
- Transformation Enhancements: This release adds new transformations like the “Transpose” transformation, which allows users to pivot data frames, converting rows into columns and vice versa. Additionally, cumulative and window calculations have been added to the “Add field from calculation” transformation, enabling more complex data analysis.
- Visualization Improvements: Grafana has standardized tooltips across canvas visualizations and improved data links, making the interface more consistent and user-friendly. The “Group to nested tables” transformation, which allows for advanced table grouping and calculations, is now generally available.
